Sweet pup with an exceptional will to live

Roady is being fostered at Angel Animal Hospital in Bonita 239-221-8444

Hi, my name is Roady, I am a 1 ½ year old male terrier mix. In late August, I somehow lost my way from home and was, unfortunately, hit by a car. No one stopped to see if I was ok….the car had broken my back and I couldn't walk.

Even though it really hurt, I managed to pull myself to the Old 41 Restaurant. I could smell eggs and bacon cooking early that morning and was hoping there would be someone kind enough to help me. The restaurant owner discovered me in the parking lot and rushed me to the vet nearby. Over the next few days, everyone took really good care of me. The restaurant cooked delicious meals for me and the animal hospital cared for my wounds and gave me medicine to help with my pain. The accident left me with a fractured vertebra in my back that compressed my spinal cord…sadly, the damage is not repairable.

At first, no one knew what to do with me. They were worried that I would not have a good quality of life with paralysis. However, it was not long before I proved them wrong! I showed them what a super sweet boy I am and showed them I had a will to live.

The animal hospital decided to care for me until I could find a forever home. One of the animal hospital's clients donated a wheel chair. You should see me cruise around in it! Now that my pain is gone, I am a happy happy boy! I love other animals: dogs, cats, you name it! I love treats, pets and attention. I am very social…sometimes even a little nosey

I really hope there is a forever home for me out there. Of course, I do require a little extra care and more TLC than most dogs. First, I need someone who is strong enough to lift me and put me in my wheelchair, I weigh about 17lbs. Once I'm in, I'm ready to go.

Don't worry the girls at the animal hospital can show you the few special needs I have. If you are looking for a forever friend who needs a little extra loving, I'm your boy.
